Intended Use
The Mammotome Biopsy System is indicated to provide tissue samples for diagnostic sampling of breast abnormalities. - The Mammotome Biopsy System is intended to provide breast tissue for histologic examination with partial or complete removal of the imaged abnormality. - The Mammotome Biopsy System is intended to provide breast tissue for histologic examination with partial removal of a palpable abnormality. The extent of a histologic abnormality cannot always be readily determined from palpation or imaged appearance. Therefore, the extent of removal of the palpated or imaged evidence of an abnormality does not predict the extent of removal of a histologic abnormality, e.g., malignancy. When the sampled abnormality is not histologically benign, it is essential that the tissue margins be examined for completeness of removal using standard surgical procedures. In instances when a patient presents with a palpable abnormality that has been classified as benign through clinical and/or radiological criteria (e.g., fibroadenoma, fibrocystic lesion), the Mammotome Biopsy System may also be used to partially remove such palpable lesions. Whenever breast tissue is removed, histological evaluation of the tissue is the standard of care. When the sampled abnormality is not histologically benign, it is essential that the tissue margins be examined for completeness of removal using standard surgical procedures.
Device Description
The Mammotome Biopsy System is a mechanical breast biopsy device used in incisional breast biopsy. The Mammotome Biopsy System may be used with imaging guidance (stereotactic or ultrasound). The Mammotome Biopsy System consists of three major components: a disposable trocar tipped needle-like probe, a reusable holster/cable assembly into which the probes are loaded, and a remote, reusable control module. The system uses vacuum assistance to gather tissue samples and a high-speed rotating cutter. The procedure is referred to as "directional vacuum-assisted biopsy."
More Information

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and vacuum-assisted nature of the biopsy system and does not mention any AI/ML components or functions.

No
The device is used for diagnostic sampling of breast abnormalities to obtain tissue samples for histologic examination, not for treating a disease or condition.

Yes
The document clearly states that the Mammotome Biopsy System is indicated to provide tissue samples for "diagnostic sampling of breast abnormalities". Gathering tissue samples for examination is a step in the diagnostic process.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components: a disposable probe, a reusable holster/cable assembly, and a remote control module. It is a mechanical biopsy device.

Based on the provided information, the Mammotome Biopsy System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This typically involves tests performed on blood, urine, tissue samples, etc., in a laboratory setting.
  • The Mammotome Biopsy System is a mechanical device used to obtain tissue samples from the breast. Its primary function is the physical removal of tissue for subsequent examination.
  • The intended use clearly states that the system is indicated to "provide tissue samples for diagnostic sampling" and to "provide breast tissue for histologic examination." This indicates that the device is a tool for collecting the sample, not for performing the diagnostic test itself.
  • The device description details the mechanical components used for tissue collection (needle, vacuum, cutter). This aligns with a biopsy device, not an IVD.

While the tissue samples obtained by the Mammotome system are used for in vitro diagnostic procedures (histologic examination), the device itself is the instrument for sample collection, not the diagnostic test.

Mammotome@ Biopsy System

Indications for Use:

The Mammotome Biopsy System is indicated to provide tissue samples for diagnostic sampling of breast abnormalities.

  • The Mammotome Biopsy System is intended to provide breast tissue for histologic ↓ examination with partial or complete removal of the imaged abnormality.
  • The Mammotome Biopsy System is intended to provide breast tissue for histologic . examination with partial removal of a palpable abnormality.

The extent of a histologic abnormality cannot always be readily determined from palpation or imaged appearance. Therefore, the extent of removal of the palpated or imaged evidence of an abnormality does not predict the extent of removal of a histologic abnormality, e.g., malignancy. When the sampled abnormality is not histologically benign. it is essential that the tissue margins be examined for completeness of removal using standard surgical procedures.

In instances when a patient presents with a palpable abnormality that has been classified as benign through clinical and/or radiological criteria (e.g., fibroadenoma, fibrocystic lesion), the Mammotome Biopsy System may also be used to partially remove such palpable lesions. Whenever breast tissue is removed, histological evaluation of the tissue is the standard of care.
